We are fixing • Sanitary sewer

overflows • Private laterals

Water Quality Management = mostly very good

We are fixing controllable legacy contamination • Mercury • PCBs

Water Quality Management = mostly good and getting better

Municipal Regional Urban Runoff Permit

Treat runoff from development projects ≥10,000 ft2 of hardscape ≥5000 ft2 if auto service,

retail gas, restaurants, parking lots

To date > 1000 projects treat ∼ 5 sq. miles

1000 sq. miles of Bay Area is urban

Municipal Regional Urban Runoff Permit Street replacement exempted from treatment requirement

10 green street demonstration projects

MRP 2.0

Green infrastructure plans in lieu of Lower area for treatment Remove street exemption

Green infrastructure = path to pollutant
